The Burren is one of the must-see places in Ireland. Bike/ hike is best.

When you cycle and climb the serpentines in the Burren, you will quickly realise why this place is so special. The landscape opens up before you like a picture that combines the rugged beauty of the limestone karst with the lush green of the valley. Every pedal stroke brings you closer to this breathtaking view - a mix of rocky hills, old dry stone walls and the wide plains of County Clare.

As you move along the winding roads, you can not only admire the impressive rock formations, but also enjoy the tranquility of the place. The Burren tells its own story that goes far back into the past. There is something timeless about standing up here, looking out over the karst landscape.

The climb may be challenging, but the reward is the view - not just of the panorama, but also of the small details that make this region so unique. Pack your water bottle, sit on the saddle and be impressed by the Burren and its fascinating geology
